I decided to do this edit of @andrewjscheer for a couple of reasons. I first met him when he was young Regina MP. I was working in a very different world and our paths crossed as a result. I don't agree with all his politics nor do I of our current PM but Andrews rise from MP to Speaker and now leader of the #ConservativePartyofCanada@cpc_hq is impressive. #digitalart#edit

#tbt: After representing Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo in Ottawa and Edmonton, Brian Jean resigned as an MLA with the United Conservative Party on Monday, March 5, 2018.

Jean was first elected as an MP in 2004, holding the position until 2014 when he resigned to focus on his family.
•
He returned to politics in 2015 and went on to lead the Wildrose as an MLA for Fort McMurray-Conklin.

It was great to see how the Canadian Sangat worked together to counter the Conservative Party's racist motion last week. If nothing else, it demonstrated that social media isn’t completely useless and in certain circumstances can be harnessed to create positive change. A big thanks go out to @worldsikhorg WSO for spearheading this effort and to Balpreet Singh in particular for his indefatigable seva for the Canadian sangat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
The Conservative motion needs to be understood in its historical context. The three collages that I created show a familiar pattern.
1. There is a Panthik struggle in Punjab.
2. Sikhs in Canada stand in solidarity with this Panthik movement.
3. Canadian Sikhs then get labelled as terrorists, invaders and extremists.
4. The dark irony is that the oppressors killing our sisters and brothers in Punjab are the real invaders, threats and extremists.
5. The Canadian media eats this narrative up and are more than ready to regurgitate this racist mess onto headlines and news stories across the country. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

I cannot wait for the 2019 election, so the Canadian citizens can have a chance at getting this anti-man, anti-white, anti-gun, pro-choice, pro-big gov't, pro-high tax, soy boy out of office. #conservativepartyofcanada

#5 Conservative Party Leadership Convention
Alongside @elamin88 I had the opportunity to attend the Conservative Leadership Convention to do a live @cpac_tv panel. The panel focused on the social media use of the candidates: their gaffes and their blunders. The convention was a spectacular event; including a live band and strobe lights.
